        dude, they are your words in your post. i am simply asking you to clarify what you mean. Sam Cane is the best openside in the country right now, and caps are not "wasted" on him. And for all they hype, he is not less able than Lakai, he is far more able.

        Now, if you are talking about TJP, who is very lucky to be considered in the top 3 halfbacks in teh country, let alone the top 2, then it is a different conversation. However your post doesn't make that distinction.

        (you're not the only one to have a pop at Cane either, but yours was the final straw)

          If I change one sentence to "less able OR older player" will you turn off the pedant meter?

                  re: Selection, i would like to see the top team roll out again and just brutalise Italy so everyone goes in to Summer feeling pretty good.

                  A disjointed muddle that results in an easy scoreboard but ugly win full of tackle bag holders would not satisfy me.

                    I half agree. A few young guns mixed in with most of the main team would suit me. I don't want to see a repeat of Fozzie in Dunedin again, that does not one any good

                      I half agree. A few noobs mixed in with most of the main team would suit me. I don't want to see a repeat of Fozzie in Dunedin again, that does not one any good

                      are their any realistic noobs to put in? the NZ A guys that came over don't strike me as realistic prospects except Holland.

                      Pretty much the only newbie i would like to see (who is there) is a new 12, as i am sadly resigned to the fact that ALB might be cooked (or reached that point in his career where he starts or doesn't play).
                      Maybe an outside back i guess. Love to 15 so Jordan can play wing, or a new wing who has actual wheels.

                      Other than that it's wasting caps on guys who are miles down the ladder.

                        @mariner4life my issue with the 'top team' is there is a glaring issue in the 23 jersey. In fact the only player in that spot who has added value this season was Love when he came on vs Japan and scored 2 tries.

                        I know they need certain cover but there's a real opportunity to look at adding more punch from the bench in the form of Love, Lam etc.

                            I hope Love plays and touches down. So I can tell my Italian friends "hey, that's Amore!"

                                  re: Selection, i would like to see the top team roll out again and just brutalise Italy so everyone goes in to Summer feeling pretty good.

                                  A disjointed muddle that results in an easy scoreboard but ugly win full of tackle bag holders would not satisfy me.

                                  I half agree. A few noobs mixed in with most of the main team would suit me. I don't want to see a repeat of Fozzie in Dunedin again, that does not one any good

                                  are their any realistic noobs to put in? the NZ A guys that came over don't strike me as realistic prospects except Holland.

                                  Pretty much the only newbie i would like to see (who is there) is a new 12, as i am sadly resigned to the fact that ALB might be cooked (or reached that point in his career where he starts or doesn't play).
                                  Maybe an outside back i guess. Love to 15 so Jordan can play wing, or a new wing who has actual wheels.

                                  Other than that it's wasting caps on guys who are miles down the ladder.

                                  I did edit my post, clearly too late for you. Could have saved you the trouble of posting...

                                  the fuck else was i going to do? work?

                                          I hope Love plays and touches down. So I can tell my Italian friends "hey, that's Amore!"
